Today’s Untz: Caribbean Girl / Mario Basanov
This track is almost 3 years old but who cares. It’s a perfect summer electronic jam and I intend on feeding my Caribbean heart all that it desires. I’m in the midst of traveling so enjoy the track. I’ll be back the next two days with some newer tunes. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: Return Of The Mack (Augustin Remix) / Mark Morrison
Ahh another ridiculous remix of the 90’s classic ‘Return Of The Mack.’ I recently featured a remix from Viceroy which had a heavy tropical vibe. Of course that’s his MO.
Augustin who hails from the Czech Republic, lays down some mouth watering synths that certainly have a summery vibe to it as well. Some of the sounds make me think of a steel drum mixed with drum pads. Shit it fire. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: Since I Don’t Have You / Jonas Rathman
Have no fear! At least one of will get a track up. As it was eloquently put earlier, it’s all about quality not quantity. TUATI’s new mission statement perhaps?
But I digress… on to the sweet Swede who brings us today’s track. He’s operatred under a different name in the past, but decided to expose himself to the industry by abandoning all pseudonyms and releasing his work under his own name.
You might think after looking at the track name that this would be about a significant other. Well technically it could be for a producer, but it’s actually a track encapsulating the love story between Jonas and his lost microKORG. He spent the summer with other synthesizers creating these healing melodies, but really he just misses his KORG. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: The Wave (Flight Facilities Mix) / Miike Snow
This song was already featured on my other blog TheTrashJuice last Friday, but it’s too good not to highlight again. If you’re ever looking for some darker elements of electronic music or perhaps the more eclectic side certainly check out that site.
With the mix of indie and untz on here I certainly narrow my focus a little bit which is great because I like sharing the type of music I do on here. This track certainly follows that path.
There’s no need to introduce either Miike Snow or The Flight Facilities. Both of them are well known and rightfully so. This track here is just a great example of two giants joining forces to create an uplifting track that is great on any occasion especially the weekend. Enjoy! #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: These Dreams / Chris Malinchak
French Express has been pumping out amazing tracks all month. This time it’s Chris Malinchak featuring some sultry vocals from Damon C Scott. He has a knack for producing epically euphoric tunes that really attest to the future of house.
There are some addicting high hats, smooth melodic bass, and tropical inspired synths that would delight even the casual electronic fan. I’ve been wanting to hop on here to post this one since it was released. So good. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz – Let Call Me Maybe (Gui Pacheco Edit) / Grek & Carly Rae Jepsen
Arguably this year’s catchiest and most annoying pop song has been stripped down and made bearable. Disclaimer: These views are my own and not Tory’s. I might get slapped by the other half of this blog.
Giu Pacheco is a DJ from Brazil who does a weekly radio show called ‘What Happened To Disco.’ He plays mostly sweet melodies, smooth grooves, sexy and fresh music highlighting the best of Nu-Disco and Deep House. On this track he strips the Carly Rae Jepsen vocals down to the basics and essentially creates a vocal edit of an amazing track from Crek called ‘Let You.’
Crek, of Berlin, has some amazing tracks you should check out on his soundcloud page. #untz/tom
Bonus Tracks From Crek:
Today’s Untz: Open / Com Truise
I had the pleasure of catching a Com Truise set two weeks ago and it surely did not disappoint. He just released In Decay which is made up of rarities and previously discarded tunes from the Com Truise hard drive.
An admitted synth obsessive, Com Truise is the maker of an experimental and bottom heavy style he calls “mid-fi synth-wave, slow-motion funk”. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: Tortuga / Claes Rosen
Sheesh French Express. You really know how to throw me into a sweaty frenzy at the end of a work day. From the label : “Here is a gift from Sweden. An earlier version of Claes Rosen’s gently crafted ‘Tortuga’ caught our attention in one of his mixtapes a couple months back… since then, we knew with haste nobody but the tropical troubadours could present this track in its full shining glory.”
This is one of those tracks that makes your neck hurt after the first listen and if you have my posture then you’re back too. I’m knee deep in tropical blue water with sand in my toes whilst flopping around like a joyful idiot. Well at least my brain just temporarily tricked me into thinking that. This is tropical music euphoria at its best. SUMMER! #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: Congo Bongo (Marbeya Sound Remix) / F3
You may have noticed a theme around here. It’s summer which puts me in the mood for summer themed dancing. This moody dance floor track has a mystical summer feel to it. It’s no surprise to see her in lineups with the likes of Tensnake.
I’m not entirely familiar with here,but I certainly will be from here on out. She lists her hometown as Mexico City and San Francisco so I’ll have to start roaming the clubs looking for her. #untz/tom
Today’s Untz: Money (Young Edits Remix) / Lou Teti
Lou Teti, founder of the distinguished TIGERS ON A LEASH label, is undoubtedly one of the most salient artists of the nu-disco international scene and here we have a remix from his friend in Australia.
It’s deep and dark with some killer bass. It’s a put your head down, close your eyes, and dance hard kinda tune. Enjoy it and the weekend. #untz/tom
